Ulric Ulroan charged on 47 criminal counts amid allegations he sexually assaulted teenage girls from 2009-2025

The former mayor of a city in Alaska - who has also coached high school girls basketball and won a parent of the year award - has been criminally charged on allegations that he sexually assaulted several teenage girls over a yearslong period, according to authorities in that state.

Ulric Ulroan, 48, first drew scrutiny from Alaska's bureau of investigation in January, when the agency received a tip that he had purportedly inflicted sexual abuse on a 17-year-old girl in the village of Chevak between 2009 and 2010. The tip prompted an investigation which brought forth more reports of Ulroan having sexually assaulted and/or abused various teenage girls" between 2009 and 2025 in Chevak as well as the Alaska communities of Anchorage, Mountain Village and Nome, officials said in a news release published on Friday.
